30-ft blades

The Big Fancy Thing is undoubtedly appealing. But it's not always within reach, may not be prudent, and isn't the only option.

Let's look at that giant wind farm again.

Say you've crunched the numbers and you can see there's a tremendous upside.
The market is right.
You have the skills and the people.
And the timing is perfect.

But what if you don't have the resources right now to meet all the logistical requirements?

Then you've got some tough decisions to make — but you're not without option.

You could:

• Build a smaller wind farm with fewer turbines.

• Bank your resources and wait until implementation costs decrease.

• Scrap the project altogether and look elsewhere. (Solar, maybe?)

• Erect more turbines with smaller blades that are easier to transport.

Here's the thing:

Just because you've envisioned this project to work in a certain way, that doesn't mean it's the only way to get it done.

What matters is the outcomes you're trying to create, and the resources you have available to make that happen.

Somewhere in the overlap of those two things, there's an option for you.

All the best,
A.
